What are the Fibers of the conduction system of the heart?
Fibers of the conduction system of the heart is called Purkinje fibers
Cardiac conduction system?
The cardiac conduction system is a group of specialized cardiac muscle cells in the walls of the heart that send signals to the heart muscle causing it to contract. The main components of the cardiac conduction system are the SA node, AV node, bundle of His, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers. The SA node (anatomical pacemaker) starts the sequence by causing the atrial muscles to contract. From there, the signal travels to the AV node, through the bundle of His, down the bundle branches, and through the Purkinje fibers, causing the ventricles to contract. This signal creates an electrical current that can be seen on a graph called an Electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). Doctors use an EKG to monitor the cardiac conduction system's electrical activity in the heart.Reviewed ByReview Date: 05/16/2011Steven Kang, MD, Division of Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology, East Bay Arrhythmia, Cardiovascular Consultants Medical Group, Oakland, CA.

What part of the conduction system of the heart wraps around in the outer walls of the ventricular?

What part of the intrinsic conduction system of the heart that directly supplies the wall of the ventricle?
Purkinje fibers
What is the part of the conduction system of the heart that wraps around in the outer walls of the ventricular is?

Does the ECG record the electrical stimulation of cardiac muscle by conduction system?
Yes, the ECG records the electrical stimulation of the heart muscle by the conduction system and traces the movement of those impulses.
